Beavers in low light
Lens: SMC Pentax-DA* 300mm F4 ED [IF] SDM Camera: Pentax K-5 Photo Location: Surahammar, Sweden ISO: 25600 Shutter Speed: 1/125s Aperture: F4

Was fishing from the boat with my grandparents and got lucky to have the beavers surrounding and watching us with me actually having the K-5 and 300mm with me. ISO is really high due to the light be really low and being in a boat prohibited lower shutter speeds than around 1/100s with such a long lens, but I'm happy with the noisy shots.

Cool beavers are very nervous around any unusual noises you did well to capture them.

We don't see photos like this very often - they demonstrate the value of high ISO shooting
